Equipment

  • glass or bowl

Ingredients

  • 1 egg
  • 1-2 cups vinegar

Instructions

  • Gently place the egg in a glass or a small bowl. 
  • Fill with vinegar so the egg is fully submerged.
  • Leave the egg in the vinegar for 2-3 days.
  • Then, gently remove the egg from the glass (draining the vinegar).
  • Gently rinse off the egg with water, which may peel back its very soft shell.
  • The egg will now be bouncy; you can also squish the egg in your hand like Jello. 

Notes

  • Keep in mind that if you bounce the egg with much force or squeeze hard, you will burst the soft exterior and there is still a raw egg inside.
